Soccer - 17 October

[Stanley]

England - 1st Division

Barnsley to beat Tranmere -140 @ Olympic & WSEX
Barnsley have won four of five at home against better opposition than Tranmere who have lost four of six on the road

Birmingham to beat Stockport -140 @ WSEX [3 units]
This game is -200 and above elsewhere so make them pay! Apart from the fact that Birmingham are in the playoff zone and Stockport in the relegation zone, Stockport have a major injury crisis with seven players out

Burnley to beat Sheffield Wednesday -149 @ Canbet [3 units]
Unbeaten at home Burnley should prove too strong for bottom-of-the-table Wednesday who have lost their last three away from home

Preston to beat Norwich -133 @ Canbet
Preston lost striker Steve Basham with a broken leg on Saturday, but their strength has been their defence with only two goals conceded in six home games. They are a good enough footballing team to score at least once at the other end

I also like Watford to beat Gillingham, but at -225 it is above my threshold.

Results:

Barnsley 1 Tranmere 1

Birmingham 4 Stockport 0

Burnley 1 Sheffield Wednesday 0

Preston 1 Norwich 0

The -140 on Birmingham was made to look foolish and while Burnley & Preston left it late, it was one-way traffic apparently in both those games and the best teams won.

3-1 and +5.60 units for the day
9-6 and +17.15 units this month

Thanks

Got my fingers burned a little when the season started a couple of months ago. Should have waited until the games got into a bit of a rhythm and now it's paying dividends.
